DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to better understand the present disclosure for those skilled in the art, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without the creative work are all within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0017] The details are described in the following.

[0018] The terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects, and are not intended to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "including" and "having", and any modification thereof are intended to cover unexclusive inclusion.

[0019] "Embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described with reference to embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The term appearing in various places in the specification are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment, and are not exclusive or alternative embodiments that are mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand explicitly and implicitly that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] A terminal device, also known as a user equipment (UE), is a device for providing voice and / data connectivity for a user, for example, a handheld device or in-vehicle equipment having wireless connection capability. Common terminals, for example, includes a mobile phone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a PDA, a mobile Internet devices (MID), a wearable device such as a smart watcher, a smart bracelet, or a pedometer.

[0021] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a terminal device 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The terminal device 100 includes an application processor (AP) 110, an optical fingerprint sensor 130, and a touch display screen 120. The touch display screen 120 includes a preset region. The optical fingerprint sensor 130 is disposed below the preset region. When the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects a fingerprint, brightness of light emitted from a light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen 120 is greater than brightness of light emitted from other light-emitting unit in other region of the touch display screen 120.

[0023] In an example, the touch display screen 120 is one of an LCD display, an OLED display, and an LED display.

[0024] In an example, the maximum size of the preset region is the entire touch display screen, and the minimum size is an area that enables the user to input a fingerprint with a sufficient area, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0025] In an example, the preset region may be disposed at a lower left corner of the touch display screen 120, a lower right corner of the touch display screen 120, or an upper right corner of the touch display screen 120, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0026] In an example, the shape of the preset region may be a circular, a square, an elliptical, a diamond, or the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0027] In an example, the number of the preset regions may be one or plural, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0028] Specifically, when a user's finger presses on the touch display screen 120 of the terminal device 100, different critical states formed on a contact surface are: 1) a "skin - display screen" interface formed as the raised fingerprint ridge line contacts the touch display screen 120; and 2) an "air - display screen" interface formed as recessed fingerprint valleys contacts the touch display screen 120. Under the illumination of the touch display screen 120, the reflectance of the "skin - display screen" interface is small, and the reflectivity of the "air - display screen" interface is large, such that a fingerprint image in bright and dark is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an interface according to embodiments of the present disclosure. When the fingerprint is collected, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit light, and brightness of the emitted light is called as a first brightness. The AP 110 controls the light-emitting units in other region to emit light, and brightness of the emitted light is called as a second brightness. The first brightness is greater than the second brightness. Given that the first brightness is equal to the second brightness, both of them are brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed. Given that the brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed is 50 lux, the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface is 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface is 80%, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface is 15, and the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface is 40 lux. When the fingerprint is collected, given that the first brightness is equal to the second brightness, the second brightness is brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed. Given that the second brightness is 50 lux and the first brightness is 80 lux, the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface is still 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface is still 80%, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface is 24, and the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface is 64 lux. As it can be seen, the first brightness is brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed, and the first brightness is equal to 50 lux, then the difference of brightness of two kinds of reflected light is 25. Given that the brightness of the light illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased to 80 lux, the difference of brightness of two kind reflected light is 40. The more the brightness of the light reflected from the two interfaces is different, the greater the contrast is, which indicates that the more obvious the distinction between the two interfaces is, and the clearer the collected fingerprint is. So, when the fingerprint is collected, the brightness of light illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased, and the quality of the collected fingerprints can be improved.

[0029] The brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting unit in the other region of the touch display screen 120 is brightness of the touch display screen when the touch display screen is normally displayed.

[0030] The brightness of the touch display screen when the touch display screen 120 is normally displayed refers to the display brightness for display set in the display setting of the terminal device 100. When the user views videos, short messages, and news by the terminal device 100, the display brightness of the touch display screen 120 is the brightness when it is in the normal display (i.e., the display brightness for display set in the display setting of the terminal device 100).

[0031] In one example, the light-emitting unit within the preset region of the touch display screen 120 includes a set of green sub-pixels, a set of red sub-pixels, and a set of blue sub-pixels. When the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects a fingerprint, all of the sub-pixels included in the set of green sub-pixels, the set of red sub-pixels, and the set of blue sub-pixels emit green light.

[0032] Specifically, the touch display screen 120 is arranged in an "RGB" arrangement, and one "RGB" is a pixel, and each pixel includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel. The green is a color with the least human skin, light emitted from the green sub-pixel is brighter than light emitted from the red sub-pixels. In addition, compared with the green sub-pixel, the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel have a larger area. When it is needed to increase brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user, the sub-pixels included in the set of green sub-pixels, the set of red sub-pixels, and the set of blue sub-pixels are controlled to emit green lights. Compared with a case where the green sub-pixels included in the set of green sub-pixels are controlled to emit green light, a case where the red sub-pixels included in the set of red sub-pixels are controlled to emit red light, and a case where the blue sub-pixels included in the set of blue sub-pixels are controlled to emit blue light, all of sub-pixels are just controlled to emit green lights in the present embodiment, which increases the brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user and then improve quality of the fingerprint under a case the power consumption of the terminal device is kept constant.

[0033] In an example, the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen 120 includes a set of pixels and a set of spare sub-pixels. When the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects a fingerprint, pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels emit light. The spare sub-pixels included in the set of spare sub-pixels do not emit light when the optical fingerprint sensor does not collect a fingerprint.

[0034] Specifically, the spare sub-pixels are arranged in the preset region. When it is needed to increase brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user, the pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels are controlled to emit light. Compared with a case where the pixels in the set of pixels are only controlled to emit light, the pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels are controlled to emit light, which increases the brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user and then improve quality of the fingerprint.

[0035] Further, the set of pixels includes a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and there exists a grid between one sub- pixel and one sub-pixel. The set of spare sub-pixels includes a plurality of spare sub-pixels, and each spare sub-pixel is disposed in the grid.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic view of spare sub-pixels according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The touch display screen 120 is arranged in an "RGB" arrangement, and one "RGB" is a pixel, and each pixel includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel. There is a black gap between one sub-pixel and one sub-pixel, which cannot emit light. These gaps are called as the "grids". In this embodiment, the spare sub-pixels are disposed in the grids.

[0037] Further, each spare sub-pixel is a spare sub-pixel for a single color.

[0038] Further, the single color is a single green, a single red, or a single blue.

[0039] Specifically, when only the green sub-pixels are disposed in the grids, since the green is a color with the least human skin and light emitted from the green sub-pixels is brighter than light emitted from the red sub-pixels, in order to increase the brightness of the light used to illuminate the user's fingerprint, only the spare green sub-pixels are disposed in the grids.

[0040] Further, the plurality of spare sub-pixels includes a plurality of spare blue sub-pixels and a plurality of spare red sub-pixels. A spare red sub-pixel is disposed in one gird between a green sub-pixel and a red sub-pixel. A spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in one grid between a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, or the spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in one gird between a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for three emitting-light pixels of RGB display screen, which are a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel has the longest lifetime, followed by lifetime of the red sub-pixel and then lifetime of the blue sub-pixel. In this embodiment, a spare red sub-pixel is disposed in a gird between a green sub-pixel and a red sub-pixel, a spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in a grid between a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, or the spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in a gird between a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. Thus, the spare red sub-pixel or the spare blue sub-pixel not only increases the brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user when it is required to increase the brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user, but also acts as a normal red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel when the normal red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel fails, which extending the life of the touch display screen.

[0042] For example, assuming that the target brightness is 50 lux, firstly, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit 50 lux light, 50 lux light is used to illuminate the fingerprint of the user. Then the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects the user's fingerprint illuminated by 50 lux light. At this time, if the sharpness of the user's fingerprint collected is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the user's finger is a dry finger. With the same brightness of light, the collected fingerprint of the dry finger is less sharp than the collected fingerprint of a normal finger. So, in order to improve the sharpness of the collected fingerprint, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit light higher than 50 lux light, and then the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects the user's fingerprint illuminated by light higher than 50 lux light.

[0043] FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for collecting a fingerprint according to embodiments of the present disclosure, which is applied to a terminal device. The terminal includes an application processor (AP), an optical fingerprint sensor, and a touch display screen. The touch display screen includes a preset region. The optical fingerprint sensor is disposed below the preset region. The method includes actions/operations in the following block.

[0044] At block S501, the terminal device controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light, wherein brightness of light emitted from a light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen is greater than brightness of light emitted from other light-emitting unit in other region of the touch display screen.

[0045] At block S502, the terminal device acquires the fingerprint illuminated by light emitted from the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen.

[0046] In an example, the touch display screen is one of an LCD display, an OLED display, and an LED display.

[0047] In an example, the maximum size of the preset region is the entire touch display screen, and the minimum size is an area that enables the user to input a fingerprint with a sufficient area, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0048] In an example, the preset region may be disposed at a lower left corner of the touch display screen, a lower right corner of the touch display screen, or an upper right corner of the touch display screen, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0049] In an example, the shape of the preset region may be a circular, a square, an elliptical, a diamond, or the like, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0050] In an example, the number of the preset regions may be one or plural, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0051] Specifically, when a user's finger presses on the touch display screen of the terminal device, different critical states formed on a contact surface are: 1) a "skin - display screen" interface formed as the raised fingerprint ridge line contacts the touch display screen; and 2) a "air - display screen" interface formed as recessed fingerprint valleys contacts the touch display screen. Under the illumination of the touch display screen, the reflectance of the "skin-display screen" interface is small, and the reflectivity of the "air - display screen" interface is large, such that a fingerprint image in bright and dark is formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an interface according to embodiments of the present disclosure. When the fingerprint is collected, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit light, and brightness of the emitted light is called as a first brightness. The AP 110 controls the light-emitting units in other region to emit light, and brightness of the emitted light is called as a second brightness. The first brightness is greater than the second brightness. Given that the first brightness is equal to the second brightness, both of them are brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed. Given that the brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed is 50 lux, the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface is 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface is 80%, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface is 15, and the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface is 40 lux. When the fingerprint is collected, given that the first brightness is equal to the second brightness, the second brightness is brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed. Given that the second brightness is 50 lux and the first brightness is 80 lux, the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface is still 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface is still 80%, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface is 24, and the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface is 64 lux. As it can be seen, the first brightness is brightness of the touch display when the touch display is normally displayed, and the first brightness is equal to 50 lux, then the difference of brightness of two kind reflected light is 25. Given that the brightness of the light illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased to 80 lux, the difference of brightness of two kind reflected light is 40. The more the brightness of the light reflected from the two interfaces is different, the greater the contrast is, which indicates that the more obvious the distinction between the two interfaces is, and the clearer the collected fingerprint is. So, when the fingerprint is collected, the brightness of light illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased, and the quality of the collected fingerprints can be improved.

[0052] The brightness of light emitted from the light-emitting unit in the other region of the touch display screen is brightness of the touch display screen when the touch display screen is normally displayed.

[0053] The brightness of the touch display screen when the touch display screen is normally displayed refers to the display brightness for display set in the display setting of the terminal device. When the user views videos, short messages, and news by the terminal device, the display brightness of the touch display screen is the brightness when it is in the normal display (i.e., the display brightness for display set in the display setting of the terminal device).

[0054] In an example, the terminal device controls the emitting-light unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light, which includes that he terminal device controls the emitting-light unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light when the user's finger is determined to be a dry finger.

[0055] Specifically, when the user's finger is a dry finger, there are less grease and moisture between the skin and the touch display screen. An "air - display screen" interface formed as the raised fingerprint ridge line contacts the touch display screen, and the reflectivity of a "skin-display screen" interface is large, such that the difference between reflectivity of the two interfaces is reduced, and then the distinction between the two interfaces is reduced. Thus, sharpness of the collected fingerprint is reduced, and then the quality of the collected fingerprints can be decreased. For example, supposed that the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface of a normal finger is 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface of the normal finger is 80%, and brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user is 50 lux, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface of the normal finger is 15 , the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface of the normal finger is 40 lux, and the difference of brightness of two kinds of reflected light for the normal finger is 25. Supposed that the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface of a dry finger is 40%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface of the dry finger is 80%, and brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user is 50 lux, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface of the dry finger is 20 , the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface of the dry finger is 40 lux, and the difference of brightness of two kinds of reflected light for the dry finger is 20.

[0056] At this time, the brightness used for illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased from 50 lux to 80 lux. Given that the reflectivity of the "skin - display" interface of the dry finger is still 30%, the reflectivity of the "air - display" interface of the dry finger is still 80%, then the brightness of the reflected light from the "skin - display" interface of the dry finger is 24, and the brightness of reflected light from the "air - display screen" interface of the dry finger is 64 lux, and the difference of brightness of two kinds of reflected light for the dry finger is 32.

[0057] It can be seen that in the case of the dry finger, the brightness used for illuminating the fingerprint of the user is increased, so that the brightness of the reflected light from the two interfaces is greatly different. The more the brightness of the light reflected from the two interfaces is different, the more obvious the distinction between the two interfaces is, and the clearer the collected fingerprint is. Thus, the quality of the collected fingerprint is improved.

[0058] A finger having a certain amount of oil and moisture in the skin epidermis is a normal finger, and a finger having less amount of oil and moisture in the skin epidermis on the skin's epidermis compared with the normal finger is a dry finger.

[0059] In an example, the method further includes actions/operations in the following.

[0060] The terminal device controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light having a target brightness, wherein the target brightness is brightness of the touch display screen when the touch display screen is normally displayed and configured for illuminating the fingerprint of the user.

[0061] The terminal device acquires the fingerprint illuminated by the light having the target brightness emitted from the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen.

[0062] The user's finger is determined as a dry finger when sharpness of the acquired fingerprint under the light having the target brightness is less than a preset threshold.

[0063] Specifically, before increasing the brightness of the light for illuminating the fingerprint of the user, it is first determined whether the finger of the user is a dry finger, and if it is a dry finger, it is necessary to increase the brightness of the light for illuminating the fingerprint of the user. Under the same brightness, sharpness of the collected fingerprint of the normal finger by the optical fingerprint sensor will be higher than sharpness of the collected fingerprint of the dry finger. Therefore, with sharpness of the collected fingerprint, whether it is a dry finger can be determined.

[0064] Further, the preset threshold is a sharpness of the collected fingerprint of the normal finger under the illumination of the target brightness.

[0065] In an example, the light-emitting unit within the preset region of the touch display screen includes a set of green sub-pixels, a set of red sub-pixels, and a set of blue sub-pixels. The terminal device controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light, which specifically includes that the terminal device controls sub-pixels in the set of green sub-pixels, the set of red sub-pixels, and the set of blue sub-pixels emit green light.

[0066] Specifically, the touch display screen is arranged in an "RGB" arrangement, and one "RGB" is a pixel, and each pixel includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel. The green is a color with the least human skin, light emitted from the green sub-pixel is brighter than light emitted from the red sub-pixels. In addition, compared with the green sub-pixel, the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel have a larger area. When it is needed to increase brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user, the sub-pixels included in the set of green sub-pixels, the set of red sub-pixels, and the set of blue sub-pixels are controlled to emit green lights. Compared with a case where the green sub-pixels included in the set of green sub-pixels are controlled to emit green light, a case where the red sub-pixels included in the set of red sub-pixels are controlled to emit red light, and a case where the blue sub-pixels included in the set of blue sub-pixels are controlled to emit blue light, all of sub-pixels are just controlled to emit green lights in the present embodiment, which increases the brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user and then improve quality of the fingerprint under a case the power consumption of the terminal device is kept constant.

[0067] In an example, the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen includes a set of pixels and a set of spare sub-pixels. The terminal device controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region of the touch display screen to emit light, which specifically includes in the following.

[0068] The terminal device controls pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels emit light, wherein the spare sub-pixels included in the set of spare sub-pixels do not emit light when the fingerprint is not collected.

[0069] In an example, the set of pixels includes a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and there exists a grid between one sub-pixel and one sub-pixel. The set of spare sub-pixels includes a plurality of spare sub-pixels, and each spare sub-pixel is disposed in the grid.

[0070] Specifically, the spare sub-pixels are arranged in the preset region. When it is needed to increase brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user, the pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels are controlled to emit light. Compared with a case where the pixels in the set of pixels are only controlled to emit light, the pixels in the set of pixels and the set of spare sub-pixels are controlled to emit light, which increases the brightness illuminating the fingerprint of the user and then improve quality of the fingerprint.

[0071] Further, the set of pixels includes a plurality of pixels, each of which includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, and there exists a grid between one sub- pixel and one sub-pixel. The set of spare sub-pixels includes a plurality of spare sub-pixels, and each spare sub-pixel is disposed in the grid.

[0072] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the touch display screen is arranged in an "RGB" arrangement, and one "RGB" is a pixel, and each pixel includes a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel. There is a black gap between one sub-pixel and one sub-pixel, which cannot emit light. These gaps are called as the "grids". In this embodiment, the spare sub-pixels are disposed in the grids.

[0073] Further, each spare sub-pixel is a spare sub-pixel for a single color.

[0074] Further, the single color is a single green, a single red, or a single blue.

[0075] Specifically, when only the green sub-pixels are disposed in the grids, since the green is a color with the least human skin and light emitted from the green sub-pixels is brighter than light emitted from the red sub-pixels, in order to increase the brightness of the light used to illuminate the user's fingerprint, only the spare green sub-pixels are disposed in the grids.

[0076] Further, the plurality of spare sub-pixels includes a plurality of spare blue sub-pixels and a plurality of spare red sub-pixels. A spare red sub-pixel is disposed in one gird between a green sub-pixel and a red sub-pixel. A spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in one grid between a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, or the spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in one gird between a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel.

[0077] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for three emitting-light pixels of RGB display screen, which are a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel has the longest lifetime, followed by lifetime of the red sub-pixel and then lifetime of the blue sub-pixel. In this embodiment, a spare red sub-pixel is disposed in a gird between a green sub-pixel and a red sub-pixel, a spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in a grid between a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, or the spare blue sub-pixel is disposed in a gird between a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. Thus, the spare red sub-pixel or the spare blue sub-pixel not only increases the brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user when it is required to increase the brightness for illuminating the fingerprint of the user, but also acts as a normal red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel when the normal red sub-pixel or blue sub-pixel fails, which extending the life of the touch display screen.

[0078] For example, assuming that the target brightness is 50 lux, firstly, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit 50 lux light, 50 lux light is used to illuminate the fingerprint of the user. Then the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects the user's fingerprint illuminated by 50 lux light. At this time, if the sharpness of the user's fingerprint collected is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the user's finger is a dry finger. With the same brightness of light, the collected fingerprint of the dry finger is less sharp than the collected fingerprint of a normal finger. So, in order to improve the sharpness of the collected fingerprint, the AP 110 controls the light-emitting unit in the preset region to emit light higher than 50 lux light, and then the optical fingerprint sensor 130 collects the user's fingerprint illuminated by light higher than 50 lux light.
